Day in the life of a stylist

Short and blonde!

Yesterday I had two of my regular clients in. Both hate getting their hair cut.

When Kerry came in I was guessing she would say “take as little off as possible” I nearly fell over when when she mentioned a bob.

We decided on a concave bob so it was shorter at the back than the front but still long enough for a low pony tail! She was so nervous but she did great and not a tear was shed.

Lisa my next client, another long haired blonde. Again hates getting much off her hair. She wanted it short at the back and longer at the front. The back needed to be cut up so she could funk it up!

So that was some if the colour and cuts that I did yesterday!

What do you think?

Today is the May Day bank holiday. We went to Holywood where there is an annual May Day celebration.

Gerard, Zane, the kids and I went to the maypole dace and visited the stalls. I bought a cup from Baked in Belfast and some cupcakes from cake rattle and roll! We then had lunch in Coast restaurant. I had a chicken burger from the £5 lunch menu. It was yummy and very filling.

Here are some pictures from my day

When we got home Eva found a lady bird in the garden. She brought him in and named him Barry! She had such fun with him for hours and cried when he had to go outside!

Love in life

This time 9 years ago I met Gerard. We are nothing alike when it comes to looks. He has no piercings or tattoos and no colour in his hair. Doesn’t like dancing or boozing.

We do however have a lot in common. We like heavy metal, same tv program’s, going to the beach and cherry trees in spring.

After we got together we went up the north coast for a day trip and have done the same every year since.

It’s the place he told me he loved me for the first time. It’s the place we got engaged and is filled of loads of happy childhood memories of mine.

6 years ago today we got married.

How young do we look! Haha!

So I decided to do my nails as the are looking terrible at the moment!

20140430-212624.jpg

I got up this morning to receive a great gift from my hubby! A evil witch hoodie, flowers and a bun! I bought him some shoes!

20140430-213211.jpg

Eva had a hospital appointment and then we went up the north coast!

20140430-213404.jpg

We went to the Ramore for some lunch.

The girls shared a burger and chips. Gerard had salted chilli prawns (it was supposed to come with chips but they didn’t arrive but there was plenty to eat) I had marinaded chicken pitta and we all shared some garlic bread and house salad. Me and Gerard both had a pint of becks. This all totalled at less than £30 which is amazing!

20140430-214529.jpg

Fae then had a banana and Gerard, Eva and I shared a desert, salted caramel pie with an americano and cappuccino and the came to £8.??

It was amazing and we all left full. We had a quick look around the shops and then to the beach!

We paddled and buried each other’s feet in the sand!

We then went to portstewart for ice cream and to play in the play ground.i had more fun than the girls!

20140430-215057.jpg
Then we packed up and got some chips for the ride home

20140430-215142.jpg

When we got home the girls went straight to bed and I’m now reflecting on the last 9 years and how lucky I am.

Me and Gerard are by no means the perfect couple. We have had our ups and downs but we have made it through. I want to thank him for being him 🙂

My £1.49 nails are still on bar two that needed re stuck. Wooo hoo!

It was a good day all around!

Easter weekend in the salon

Good Friday-
My mum came in for a cut and bouncy blow dry.she has never had curly hair before and was delighted with the amount of volume she got.

I then did a colour change and restyle. My client wanted to stay blonde but to add a few tones. As for her cut, as long as you can see her earrings she was happy. Here are the results.

My next client wanted a full head of high lights and her hair cut into a concave bob.

Saturday-
I did a child’s dry trim followed by a gents dry trim and then two colours.

The first colour was a root tint with a cut and we added a full blunt fringe.

My second colour was to tone down a bright red. I added an light ash brown to help kill the red tones but to still leave the colour warm. I kelp a few red bits in the hair to keep it broken up.

Easter Sunday-
I had the dreaded bug. But I managed to go and visit my beautiful in laws Lucy and Joe in their gorgeous new home.
I then went to Amanda’s house to help out with hair and makeup for her photo shoot.

Here is what we did for her “Tinkerbad” shoot.

And here is one of the edited shots.

Easter Monday-

Today we plan to go to the Easter parade in Bangor. I will blog about it later 🙂

In the mean time, hope you all have a great brake whatever you get up to!
